Why Lew ?

It was only a couple of weeks ago someone was saying on here only 5 weeks to go, I believe it was Lee. The problem is we need to lose players before bringing anyone in. Levy is asking too much for the likes of Crouch, Bentley etc. As someone posted the other day. Who is going to buy Crouch at 9 Mill. He isn't that good and other clubs know it. The new season has almost crept up on us and we are still f*cking around. Levy needs to get it sorted. It's interesting that with all the players we have been linked with none of them has been mooted on Sky Sports. When it's on Sky Sports you know there is something in it. Don't get your hopes up. If we were going to buy someone of any note I feel it would have been done by now. It's looking bleak but I hope I'm wrong.

Jagielka is supposed to have asked for a four year deal and £100,000 a week. I am surprised that Arsenal are prepared to pay a player £100,000 a week, they must be either getting desperate or unlike Levy, they know that in order to build a strong side you need top players, and unfortunately you have to pay top wages. I can not see Levy being prepared to pay this kind of wage to a player can you?.

rememeber when carrick went and we got zokoro in, it took him months before he was up to match fitness.

levy trying to get players on the cheap and not selling players .
other teams identify the guy they want and get him even if its over the odds
liverpool 30mill for carrol and we wont pay £17mill the guy ion wants.

Lew, I really dont know where you're going with all this .....How is it you cannot distinguish the difference between a new thread started up 20 minutes after another one on the same subject matter, in some cases by the same author and its posted side by side to the previous thread, what exactly does it achieve?

A poster starting up a new duplicated thread of one thats perhaps had been pushed out of sight from the portal or from on the Spurs Chat Page 1, then fair enough ...Its bound to happen and fair doos as far as Im concerned if the Mods dont merge .

And what is all talk of Spurs not involving transfers should all be lumped together in one thread?

Actualy dont reply to my questions Lew as I dont see how this is helping the forum , I really dont....
Perhaps it would be better we air our concerns as to how the forum is run to the mods via PM?

But it is because of that, that we decided to start merging duplicate posts. The merging of threads is a new thing. It wasn't a policy at the time of the Modric posts. It has to start somewhere and it starts now. The Mods took a decision to do something about the double postings. My idea was to lock the posts but then we decided merging would allow the threads to run on. On some forums they will delete Double posts. We could do that if it makes it any easier but I don't think it will go down too well. Of course sometimes double posts get missed believe it or not there is a lot to do on here. If we spot them they will be merged it's as simple as that.

I wasnt saying there is a hidden agenda baz, i am saying whatever happened to those same protesters against doom and gloom and dont panic when all the modric and non transfer threads came on?

I was going to post that i saw an article saying modric has accepted he wont be sold and will knuckle down for the season but i cant be bothered, does it come under the title of all the others posts, is it new material or not ? it certainly is opposite to modric wanting away etc etc etc so where does it go, to bring it to anyones attention that might be interested ?
If i add it to the old modric threads it just rehashes all those old opinions.

With all due respect Lew, you can be a drama Queen at times.

Before you go Purple and fire a shedload of expletives in my direction, that was tongue in cheek.


There were plenty of us on here calling for calm when the Modric malarky came out. Admittedly I had a bit of a downer as I held him in such high esteem, but that lasted an Evening. Since then I've posted nothing but positive on here.

Sid is another who backed DL to the hilt and has been nothing but positive when posting.

We got as much positive response as the others got negative so you're wrong to paint it in the way you are.

Arnie has asked you on previous occasions, prior to th Modric saga, to keep comments on a particular subject to one thread. Every post on the subject is immediately brought to our attention by the little Orange box letting us know there is a new post. So, again, starting a new thread is unnecessary.


Seriously mate, I can't see what your problem is here as it helps the mods by cutting down their workload. It also helps to keep a conversation or debate on track if it is confined to one thread.


Totally reasonable as far as I can see.

Arnie has pointed out many times that what i have posted could have come under another thread instead of making another one, but what i am saying is so could many on here, lobs annoyance at non transfers, loughts and others voicing their concerns over the same thing, so surely all these opinions should come under the same thread, ie ,concerns at no new faces at spurs or similar title......get my point.?

If doom and gloom and dont panic are one and the same, so surely is every post that lambasts modrics antics and concerns over transfers.

Its no big deal really ion, at the end of the day its my choice to come on here or not.
